Comment on YouTube intensifies fight against ad blockers showing pop-ups, and users are frustrated | Blocking ad-block users

  Because of the insane amount of advertising they can do on the massive majority of people who don’t use adblock?

  Because they hold THE monopoly on video upload?

  There are many reasons why a company exists with no profit incentive.

    Why do you think they do advertising? It’s for profit lol.

    So let the peasants who don’t know how to block ads cover the costs for the rest of us freeriders?

      What a good faith argument! I will surely waste my time arguing with you!

  Because they’re a monopoly and should get nationalized to ensure they align with the citizens rather than with the greedy shareholders.

  I don’t like the idea that my YouTube premium money just goes into a big pool that’s divided among all creators whether I watched them or not. I block ads and subscribe to patreons of YouTubers I watch the most, I would probably pay a few dollars for YouTube premium.

    Premium only goes to the creators you watch though and not everyone? Unless I misunderstood things or you have a source for it?

    Yeah I’d much rather prefer a system when portion of the money goes to google to cover their costs, but the majority of it would be divided between the creators whose videos I’ve been watching during that month.
